Chapter 533: What? How Did You Know We Cracked Three Cases in One Day?
Han Fei for a moment couldn't grasp Xu Mo's words, so he simply didn't bother to dissect their meaning; now confirming whether the complainant's statements were true was most important, and he turned his gaze to the complainant.
"Are you sure you were xx'ed by a woman?"
"Sure!" the man nodded. "I swear everything I say is true! I only just managed to crawl out of that demon den."
Xu Mo saw that Han Fei must be a police superior, so he promptly repeated the words he had just said to the officer, this time addressing Han Fei directly.
"I met her online, we were in a net‑romance, chatting for more than a year. I felt the time was right, so a few days ago I asked to meet her in person, she agreed, and I came yesterday."
"When we met last night, I realized she was a catfish, but out of politeness I didn't leave right away; I thought, since I'm already here, I might as well stay in Yangcheng for a couple of days and have some fun."
"After dinner, she took me out for drinks, got me drunk, and then led me to a hotel… it hasn't stopped since last night! I only seized the moment when she went to the bathroom to run to the police, and my calves were cramping as I left!"
Han Fei, after listening to the complainant's account, hesitated briefly, but ultimately chose to believe the man's story, not pulling him for a urine test yet, and instead prepared to locate the online girlfriend the man mentioned to learn more.
Guided by the man, the police located the hotel, and upon arriving discovered that the man's online girlfriend had checked out right after he left.
Finding the person wasn't difficult; after presenting his ID at the hotel front desk, they readily retrieved the room registration record and even showed the police the surveillance from last night.
As the man claimed, he was indeed drunk last night, unable to walk in a straight line, and it was the woman beside him who led him to the hotel; the surveillance footage can verify this.
"Officer, I'll say it plainly: you must stand up for me. She fed me a bunch of random drugs last night!" the man pointed at the surveillance screen and accused.
It is worth noting that after the law was revised, coercing a man also constitutes a crime, a criminal case.
Even though it was a criminal case, this one wasn't difficult to handle, mainly because the victim reported in time and the hotel could provide the woman's identity information.
So in less than half an hour, suspect Jin was already in custody.
Combining the hotel surveillance, victim Li's testimony, and the series of drugs the suspect bought yesterday, they could essentially convict suspect Jin.
In the Interrogation Room, Jin openly confessed to the crime of getting victim Li drunk, dragging her to the hotel, and feeding her special drugs.
"You successfully captured the Escapee and earned a reward—500,000 cash!"
The case was so easy that the system's reward for Xu Mo wasn't particularly generous.
But Xu Mo said he didn't mind.
After all, the case required virtually no effort; a trip to the hotel and the suspect was caught, difficulty zero.
With that, why bother with a bicycle? Any reward is fine.
For the other officers at the Police Station, today was their highlight moment.
In just one day, they cracked three criminal cases, let alone two of them were Headless Unsolved Cases!
This record is enough for them to brag about for many years.
Across the nation, is there any Police Station that can solve three criminal cases in a single day?
As a result, pride filled the officers' faces, and when they went home after work at night, they couldn't help but puff out their chests.
On the way back, Wang Dachuan ran into other colleagues from neighboring districts who had just finished work.
Colleague: "Hey, what a coincidence, you also got off early?"
Wang Dachuan: "What? How did you know our Police Station solved three criminal cases today?!"
Colleague: "..."
If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known about this!
Wang Dachuan: "Ah, it's not that impressive, just average! It's only that our Team Leader Xu casually unearthed two Headless Unsolved Cases that had been shelved for three to five years and solved them on the spot. There's really nothing to say; if you hadn't kept pestering me, I wouldn't have wanted to talk!"
Colleague: "???"
Wang Dachuan: "What? You want me to explain in detail? Sure! There's a coffee shop up ahead; let's go sit there, and I'll tell you everything in detail."
And so, Wang Dachuan took the colleague, whom he only occasionally met on his way home from work, to the coffee shop, and bragged about Xu Mo's case‑solving process.
The colleague at first was a bit reluctant to engage Wang Dachuan, just wanting to brush him off and go home early.
After all, days when he could leave on time were few, so he had to cherish them.
But after hearing Wang Dachuan finish recounting one of the cases, he got drawn in.
As a police officer, I'm still very interested in solving more challenging cases, since I can learn a lot from them.
"Nine people committing suicide consecutively in one day? No clues at the scene? This shouldn't be suicide; I suspect there's something else, a homicide, right? Continue, what happened next? How did your Team Leader Xu crack the case?"
"Our Team Leader Xu just casually skimmed the old case files, and immediately produced a profile of the suspect! Guess what profile our Team Leader Xu made of the suspect?" Wang Dachuan said with an exaggerated expression.
"I don't know, tell me quickly."
"That's right, only Team Leader Xu could, after reading the files, instantly produce an accurate profile; no one else could even if they tried… Our Team Leader Xu's profile described the suspect as a middle‑aged person suffering from a terminal illness!"
"..."
